I seriously can't believe Slaughterhouse won. I could write a book about Black Hippy and what makes them better, but for Slaughterhouse all I could and can say is that four old rappers made a rap group and got signed.
In terms of lyrically ability:
Black Hippy > Slaughterhouse (Kendrick Lamar (This generation's GOAT) > Ab-Soul > SchoolBoy Q > Crooked I > Joe Budden > Royce da 5'9" > Joell Ortiz > Jay Rock).
In terms of being artistic:
Black Hippy > Slaughterhouse (Kendrick Lamar > Ab-Soul > SchoolBoy Q >Joe Budden > Jay Rock > Joell Ortiz > Royce da 5'9" > Crooked I)
*Slaughterhouse isn't very artistic.
In terms of being able to write a song:
Black Hippy > Slaughterhouse (Kendrick Lamar > Ab-Soul > SchoolBoy Q = Joe Budden > Royce da 5'9" > Joell Ortiz > Jay Rock > Crooked I)
In terms of Group Chemistry:
Black Hippy > Slaughterhouse
In terms of really everything:
Black Hippy > Slaughterhouse
It's not even close. Also, the people in Black Hippy will actually have successful solo success along with amazing group success. Kendrick Lamar is fucking amazing in all aspects, Ab-Soul is incredibly intelligent for a rapper and has a lot of substance, and SchoolBoy Q is a mix of Nas, Jay-Z, and 50 Cent (Jay Rock is kind of just a carbon copy of The Game, he's better than most rappers but for being in Black Hippy he's a piece of shit). I literally think that Black Hippy is the best hip-hop group to ever emerge, fuck Wu-Tang (they're lyrical but boring, lets be serious. Oh, and fuck D12). That's not including duos, but each member has a good one on one chemistry when they do joint songs without two of the groups members so it's actually debatable, however I believe Outkast is the best duo to date. In addition, Section.80 (Kendrick Lamar), Control System (Ab-Soul), and Habits & Contradictions (SchoolBoy Q) are lyrically and artistically (this also includes production) better than nearly every hip-hop album released in the last 12 years (of course there are a few excepts to this statement, hence nearly). I mean name two, just two, albums like these that are as entertaining and lyrical with amazing production, there are not many. Honestly the TDE roster is probably the best in the game currently, even their boss (Punch) is a better rapper than most, hell he's better than 3/4 of Slaughterhouse. Not to mention the in-house producers being on-par with or above Dr. Dre, Premo, and Kanyes' level of talent (I know I'll get hate but lets be real). Sounwave is an amazing producer and is the best on TDE. EVERY artist (rappers & producers, even the boss) in TDE has amazing versatility and skill (except Jay Rock). The singers are even amazing as fuck as well, I mean Ashtrobot, BJ the Chicago Kid, Jhene Aiko, Alori Joh, and Ja Vonte' are better than ALL pop singers, a shit load of alternative singers (not all), and definitely the whole rap game. That being said, R.I.P to Alori Joh. Now, you all talk about the saviors of rap, well these are your people. FUCKING SUPPORT THEM. BUY THIER SOLO ALBUMS AND LISTEN TO THEM, IF YOU HAVEN'T YOU ARE SERIOUSLY MISSING OUT. NO WILL CHANGE THE GAME AS MUCH AS THESE GUYS WILL, THEY ALL HAVE AN ENORMOUS CHANCE OF BEING SUCCESSFUL, AS STATED BEFORE, WITHOUT SELLING OUT AND SACRIFICING THIER SOUND. NO OTHER SOLO ACT, DUO, OR GROUP IS GOING TO BE THE SAVIORS OF THIS GENRE, ESPECIALLY NOT SLAUGHTERHOUSE. Oh and....
The ability to have success and not sell out:
Black Hippy > Slaughterhouse
Personalities:
Black Hippy > Slaughterhouse (TDE has so much more presence on the mic it's not even funny, they even have more personality in real life. They are all so fucking chill in down to earth. Where as Slaughterhouse is just of funny old dudes [two of which can be ass holes at times] and one shy guy.)
